Chris Bathgate : NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

The second best thing to hearing Chris Bathgate live is listening to his Tiny Desk Concert. Check it out as you properly prepare yourself for Saturday, October 18th at Paradigm Coffee.

Tickets are $15 general admission and $10 for students.

Dusky and deliberate, Chris Bathgate's music can be foreboding, even funereal. But the Michigan native invests his songs with warm, rustic beauty, which makes everything too pretty to function as a true downer.
